Hi @Raji15 , 

To display a field message beneath the field when an option is selected, you can use the showFieldMsg() function.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return; // Don't do anything while the form is loading
    }

    // Clear any previous messages
    g_form.hideFieldMsg('Your_field_name');

    // Show messages based on the new value
    if (newValue == 'yes') {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('Your_field_name', 'Message 1', 'error');
    } else if (newValue == 'no') {
        g_form.showFieldMsg('impact', 'Message 2', 'error');
    }
}

Not working. The variable is inside the container. Is that cause any problem may be?

Hi @Raji15,

Containers are used to display variables either as a single field in a row or two fields in a row.

I Tried in my PDI , It is Working Fine

The issue is not related to the containers. Please review the backend values of the variables and choices, and try again.

Thanks and regards,

Hi @Raji15 

When dealing with variables inside containers, you still use the g_form.getValue() and g_form.showFieldMsg() functions, but ensure that the variable name you’re using in the script matches the name defined in the catalog item.

// Client Script to show message based on proxy variable selection
(function() {
    // Get the selected value of the 'proxy' variable
    var proxyValue = g_form.getValue('proxy');
    
    // Check if the value is 'Yes'
    if (proxyValue == 'Yes') {
        // Display a message to the user
       // g_form.addInfoMessage('Archer request required');
       g_form.showFieldMsg('Your_field_name', 'Message 1', 'error');
    } else {
        // Clear the message if the value is not 'Yes'
        g_form.clearMessages();
    }
})();

i hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you
